There's mandates to teach what the government claims to be facts as facts.
Back in the 90s, it was regular curriculum to teach everyone to eat all the breads and pasta and to limit proteins and really limit fats. None of that was fact, but based on incomplete science and lobbying from the farm industry to continue a stable corn market.
Governments are not the authority on what is fact, science, or fiction. We saw that pretty plainly in 2020 when governments and scientists changed opinions on acceptable social practices based on political situations (eg. Church services were unacceptable, but BLM street parties, protests, and riots were acceptable)
